Mary doesn’t do wild things. Not, that is, until she spots a small ad for house exchange that sets her on a transformative journey to the untamed shores of Hornby Island, Canada. With Mary’s persnickety husband put off by the island’s bohemian vibe, Mary explores on her own and soon finds she’s falling for one island resident after another, even her free-spirited new friend, Flower.
Bruce, thirty-five-years-old and grieving the loss of his last remaining family member, embarks on a quest for truth and connection that leads him across continents and generations to the tiny village of Ballycanew, Ireland.
Arranged by chance, Mary and Bruce’s meeting nevertheless seems fated as the threads of their shared history weave together.
